I don't know the answer to that (my suspicion is it's "no") but I have a suggestion. Install Cygwin on the NT server hosting the developer sandbox, and setup the Cygwin sshd to run as a service. This will provide you with a free SSH server. Then have your developers use a windows SSH client such as PuTTY to connect to the sandbox and issue their cvs commands. It requires your developers to learn how to use the command-line cvs client, but IMHO the effort is more than worth it. This is the method that I use (I do web development with PHP on both Apache/Linux and IIS/NT) and it works great for me! If you have any questions feel free to ask... _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
